The ZAMP002 is an low current high performance RF amplifier designed for L band and IF applications. Although the ZAMP002 has been designed primarily for DBS applications the ZAMP002 is capable of extending to frequencies of 2.5GHz so it has a good fit with various applications. An additional benefit of the ZAMP002 is it's rising gain characteristic, this has been designed to counteract the gain losses found at the higher frequencies. The ZAMP002 has been optimized to an input impedance of 50ohms while the output impedance has been designed for optimum match to an impedance of 75ohms. Packaged in a small SC70-6 w i th the m i ni m um num ber of e x t e r n a l b i a s components required it is the ideal solution for space and current limited applications.
